after a grueling 4 years of school and a bit of time at a fintech company ive lost almost all the enjoyment i once had for computers in high school. what kind of projects or whatever can i do to have fun again without feeling stressed.
edit: thanks everyone for such creative suggestions!! anything else on the internets just like build a trivia game teehee but yall put real thought into this shit, thank you!!
Honestly, I don't think more of the same is going to help you feel less burned out. Obviously your couple of sentences doesn't give me a lot of insight into your life, but you do not seem to enjoy your job, and that is going to color your whole perception on anything related to it. I think I'd honestly recommend you start looking for work you actually enjoy, but if that isn't possible I recommend unplugging as much as possible for awhile. That's the only way I've ever had the spark come back for me. Starting side projects always lose their luster after a session or two and just started to feel like another source of stress for me.
Fintech can take on the high stress culture of the financial world where you're expected to just accept that money will make up for the ever increasing pressure to work more and harder to "win". There's a reason Wall Street is infamously known for cocaine
All that to say, I think your approach is better than what's being suggested by others here.
